LSSCALE, NL1, NL2, NINC, RX, RY, RZ, KINC, NOELEM, IMOVE
Generates a scaled set of lines from a pattern of lines.
NL1, NL2, NINCSet of lines (NL1 to NL2 in
steps of NINC) that defines the pattern to be scaled.
NL2 defaults to NL1, NINC defaults
to 1. If NL1 = ALL, NL2 and NINC are
ignored and the pattern is defined by all selected lines. If NL1 =
P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored
(valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NL1 (NL2 and NINC are ignored).
RX, RY, RZScale factors to be applied to the X, Y, Z keypoint coordinates in active coordinate system (RR, Rθ, RZ for cylindrical; RR, Rθ, RΦ for spherical). Note that the Rθ and RΦ scale factors are interpreted as angular offsets. For example, for CSYS,1, RR, Rθ, RZ input of (1.5,10,3) would scale the specified keypoints 1.5 times in the radial and 3 times in the Z direction, while adding an offset of 10 degrees to the keypoints. Zero, blank, or negative scale factor values are assumed to be 1.0. Zero or blank angular offsets have no effect.
KINCIncrement to be applied to keypoint numbers for generated set. If zero, the lowest available keypoint numbers will be assigned [NUMSTR].
NOELEMSpecifies whether nodes and elements are also to be generated:
0 | — | Nodes and line elements associated with the original lines will be generated (scaled) if they exist. |
1 | — | Nodes and line elements will not be generated. |
IMOVESpecifies whether lines will be moved or newly defined:
0 | — | Additional lines will be generated. |
1 | — | Original lines will be moved to
new position ( |
Generates a scaled set of lines (and their corresponding keypoints and mesh) from a pattern of lines. The MAT, TYPE, REAL, and ESYS attributes are based on the lines in the pattern and not the current settings. Scaling is done in the active coordinate system. Lines in the pattern could have been generated in any coordinate system.
